Učinak fizioterapije kod osoba s pareza facijalnog živca
No full textSAŽETAK Nervus facialis je sedmi kranijalni živac koji inervira područje lica te je odgovoran za ekspresiju mimike kao i osjeta okusa. Sastoji se od parasimpatičkih, motornih i osjetnih vlakana. Pareza facialisa nastaje zbog raznih čimbenika i bolesti kao što su moždani udar, izloženost propuhu, herpes simpleks i Varicella zoster. Pareza facijalnog živca može biti centralna i periferna, a najučestaliji oblik pareze je periferna pareza koja je poznata pod imenom Bellova pareza. Pareza nervus facialis dovodi do atrofije mišića lica i ispada motoričkih sposobnosti. Simptomi koji se javljaju pri parezi facialisa su bol, pojačano suzenje očiju, otečenost, suhoća ustiju i osjetljivost na zvučne podražaje. Isto tako pareza facialisa može biti i popratna dijagnoza kod stanja kao što je multipla skleroza i mijastenija gravis. Prilikom fizioterapijske intervencije koriste se postupci opservacije, postupci mjerenja i testiranja te se prije svega uzima pacijentova anamneza. Nakon uspješne fizioterapijske procjene započinje proces fizioterapijske intervencije koja uključuje vježbe mišića lica i mimike, elektroterapijske postupke, masažu, biofeedback i magnetoterapiju

Obostrana pareza glasnica u kirurgiji štitne žlijezde
Full text linkPareza glasnice je dobro poznata komplikacija koja prati kirurgiju štitne žlijezde. Prolazne pareze se javljaju u rasponu od 0,4% to 7,2% slučajeva, dok je u slučaju trajnih pareza raspon nešto niži i čini 0,5 do 5,2% slučajeva. Obostrana paraliza se javlja u 0,2% do 0,6% slučajeva i zabrinjavajuće je stanje prvenstveno radi opstrukcije dišnog puta. Sam mehanizam ozlijede i nastanka, a u slučajevima kada je živac tijekom kirurškog zahvata jasno prikazan, nedovoljno je istražen. Mogući patofiziološki mehanizmi u pozadini ovakvog stanja ubrajaju transekciju, trakciju, toplinske ozlijede i devaskularizaciju. Rezultat se očituje kroz neuropraksiju, aksonotemezu ili neurotemezu, a prema dosadašnjim literaturnim podacima oporavak je moguć u više od 90% slučajeva. Liječenje također nosi mnogobrojne dileme. Vrlo je jasna uloga uspostave dišnog puta pri jasno izraženoj simptomatologiji i stanjima kada ide potpuna opstrukcija. Međutim, što u slučajevima kada simptomi obostrane pareze nisu potpuno izraženi, a dišni put je koliko-toliko održan? Kakva je uloga medikamentoznog liječenja? Koliko dugo čekati do oporavka glasnica? Kada pristupiti zahvatima poput lateralizacije? To su samo neka od pitanja koja se nameću u sklopu kirurgije štitne žlijezde i čiji odgovori svakako mogu poboljšati rješavanje komplikacija poput obostranih pareza glasnica s ciljem kvalitetnijeg života operiranih bolesnika, ali i „mirnijeg sna“ operatera
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
